First Look: Chris Hemsworth in Battle Scene on "Thor 2" Set

"Thor: The Dark World" is currently filming in the Bourne Woods of Surrey, England, where director Alan Taylor ("Game of Thrones") is filming a huge battle scene, featuring Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Lady Sif (Jaimie Alexander), and lots of extras, props and horses.

A letter sent out by the production explains that "the sequence involves a battle between two kingdoms, ending in our comic book hero arriving to save the day. The sequence will involve a substantial amount of stunts and controlled special effects."

Check out the photos below and see the movie in theaters on November 8th, 2013.

Set design and costumes have ZERO artistic inspiration, and the chick riding horseback reminds me of Xena.

First film was fun because it was comedic, playing off Thor's sudden humanity, and the fact we could relate to pretty much all the characters, even after Thor became a god again, but this film appears to be far more mythological, more abstract, darker even, less grounded in the modern world, and as such, it's going to be less a round-the-house crowd pleaser than the first.

Looks very good, I say bring these on more the merrier. Battle scenes look great, love the mythological aspect (Pointed out by mink) might give more insight into Thor's world. If they keep these all matching up it could be epic with characters crossing paths. My only wish is that Marvel get back Spider-Man as he is essential to the Marvel universe.
